Yes, I do have the basis to say that a voice in your head is not knowledge. Knowledge is information. Information can be communicated to other people.
What you have is some feelings and some experiences, that you can't prove, or show to other people. That's not knowledge. It's a personal belief and it's pretty much worthless to anyone but you.
And even for you - it appears of little use, except for fortifying your - irrational by nature - belief in god as well as perhaps your sense of self-worth, since you believe you have some special insight most people don't.
